UNSPSC 25172001: Automobile suspension systems

UNSPSC 25172001 Automobile suspension systems is a Commodity code covering replacement and repair components for vehicle suspension assemblies procured by state and local governments. Recent state and local opportunities under this code show limited direct activity; the most substantive recent solicitation is Parkway School District in Missouri issuing a Request for Bid (RFB) for Bus & Vehicle OEM Parts & Service, which encompasses suspension and related drivetrain components as part of a broader fleet maintenance blanket purchase order agreement. The District seeks qualified distributors to supply OEM replacement parts for its bus fleet on an as-needed basis, with vendors required to maintain professional facilities, adequate inventory, and the ability to source unavailable parts within approximately three days. Qualification requirements include current W-9 documentation, Federal E-Verify authorization, minimum three references, and insurance coverage including Commercial General Liability at $1,000,000 combined single limit. Award will be determined on lowest or best bid basis, with the District encouraging purchase of products manufactured in the United States and providing preference to commodities manufactured in Missouri when quality, price, and delivery are comparable.

Activity under the code appears concentrated in school district fleet operations rather than across a diverse mix of issuing bodies. Parkway School District's opportunity, posted May 5, 2026, with bid closure on May 19, 2026 at 2:00 PM CST and award notification scheduled for June 11, 2026, represents the primary recent signal. Bids must be submitted through the Parkway School District Bonfire Portal with no specific budget or award value disclosed; the District notes that item quantities are estimates only and do not represent a guarantee of actual purchases. A separate notice from Sourcewell on behalf of multiple Washington and other jurisdictions tagged as Law Enforcement Equipment (RFP #061626, due June 16, 2026) does not substantively address suspension systems specifically, and a Williamson County, Texas purchasing department relocation notice contains no procurement scope. Geographic activity is limited to Missouri and scattered cooperative purchasing frameworks; the code shows minimal recent solicitation volume overall.
